Looks like Johann Lamont was right after all. What a laughing stock we are…. 1. Free Tuition. We believe in education based on the ability to learn, not the ability to pay. While students in England face tuition fees up to £27,750, Scottish students receive university tuition for free, and always will under the SNP. 2. Record high health funding. We’ve invested over £19 billion in our health and care portfolio, with resource funding up by over 60% under the SNP. 3. Care For All. We extended free personal and nursing care to everyone who needs it, regardless of age. 4. The Baby Box. We’re giving every baby born in Scotland the best start in life by providing the Baby Box for free, filled with essential items needed in the first six months of a child’s life. Other countries, like Ireland, have since followed Scotland’s footsteps. 5. 1,140 hours of free, high-quality childcare. All eligible children now benefit from at least 1,140 hours of funded early learning and childcare, saving families around £4,500 per child per year - and we’re working to expand it even further. 6. New social security system, delivering 13 benefits. After the limited devolution of welfare powers, we have built Social Security Scotland - the new social security system based on dignity and respect, treating social security as an investment in Scotland’s people. 6. The Scottish Child Payment. One of the new benefits, the only one of its kind in the UK, has been called game-changing by charities and will help lift tens of thousands of children out of poverty. In 2022, we have increased it by 150% from £10 to £25 per week per child - five times what campaigners originally called for. 7. Free prescriptions. We have abolished NHS prescription charges in Scotland, which are now £9.35 per item south of the border. 8. Delivered over 118,000 affordable homes across Scotland. Scotland leads the way in the UK on building warm, safe affordable homes - and we’re working to deliver 110,000 more by 2032, the majority of them for social rent. 9. NHS staffing at a record high. Since the SNP took office, there is over 28,000 more doctors, nurses and other staff working in Scotland’s NHS, an increase of over 22%. 10. Free bus travel. Almost two million Scots enjoy free bus travel across the country, including over-60s, people with disabilities, and young people under the age of 22. 11. Lowest student loan debt in the UK. On top of free tuition, students are entitled to up to a minimum income guarantee of £7,750, benefit from low interest rates for student loan repayments, leaving their studies with the lowest average student loan debt in the UK. Learners with care experience are entitled to a non-repayable bursary of £8,100. 12. Free school meals for all children in P1-P5. We’re ensu What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
